1 Corinthians 9:2-6
1 Corinthians 9:2
If I am not an apostle to others, at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 9:3
My defense to those who examine me is this:
1 Corinthians 9:4
Do we not have a right to eat and drink?
1 Corinthians 9:5
Do we not have a right to take along a believing wife, even as the rest of the apostles and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?
1 Corinthians 9:6
Or do only Barnabas and I have no right to refrain from working?
